SSminnow's NPS biocube in 90

[Ssminnow81]

Originally I was going to setup a lps dominated tank. Of course one of the ballasts aren't working on the biocube 8 gallon so.....
This will be a mainly non photosynthetic build consisting mostly of sun coral and dusters.
Good luck to everyone

Added a cb shrimp, octopus anemone and blue damsel that we're in my sump from my main tank.
Also picked up a feather duster and a tube anemone.

Picked up a yellow spiral Coral and a branching dendro frag. Spirals a bit thin but was good deal at $20 and dendro $10

Looking good. I'd like to see that "floating" rock from different angles.

I zip tied it from a piece of acrylic. The cb shrimp loves it.

Awesome! I'm really liking the look and ideas of this tank. Very cool way to "float" the rock.

Stinks but I had to take out the spiral coral and put it in my main display. The anemone doesn't stop moving and tried to eat it. It had about 3inches plus an inch of base rock inside of it. This anemone has eaten 3 starfish a damsel and multiple hermits and snails. Id get Rid of it but my son refuses.

The one coral I wanted to base this tank around was sun coral. For some reason I can't find much and whatever i see looks very unheathy

Finally got my suncoral. Also took a rhizo out of my display tank. It's hasn't been looking to hot for the past few months. We'll see if I can revive it in here.

Whats your feeding plan for these corals? I know the NPS like cooler water, where do you keep the temp?

 

[Ssminnow81]

Just frozen mysis every other day. Also dried shrimp for the rhizo, tube nem and octo nem twice a week. The sun hasn't opened up yet though

 

[Ssminnow81]

I don't think I need cooler water with the type I'm keeping
